Primary Arms Optics - Discovery 2025: PLx® Compact Long Range Scopes Unveiled! 🚀

[@armorers_wrench]

Dude that 2-20 excites me just as much as the new illuminated ffp plx-c. You guys crushed it this year. You listened to your customers and made exactly what we wanted. I guess a lot of people still want a 2-10 but imo the 2-20 is superior.

[@DD-hz3ts]

[@michaele1564]

Wish it had the acss mil reticle from the 2.5 to 10 though. Maybe that's coming in a glx format. Will have to wait to upgrade I guess

[@lecherojr]

It’ll have to be considerably cheaper than the NX8 2.5-20 on expert voice and with the price of their other PLXc scopes I’m doubtful

[@Redpitbull44]

​@@lecherojr I've already got the two NX8s. 2.5-20 and the 4-32. Both with Tremor3 reticles. The only thing I wish the 2.5-20 category had more of is illumination brightness. At 2.5x you can use it at close range, but I have some trouble even at the brightest setting seeing the illumination in a well lit place. The rifle with the 4-32 has a 509T2 on a 45° Arisaka to deal with

[@lecherojr]

[@lecherojr]

I’m curious where you think it outshines the NX8?

[@MTMILITIAMAN7.62]

@lecherojr It's probably $1000 cheaper, and therefore accessible to a broader market. It has a 34mm tube, which should aid in durability, light transmission, and range of adjustment over the Nightforce's 30mm tube.

[@lecherojr]

@@MTMILITIAMAN7.62 I doubt it will be 1k cheaper. I doubt it will be any cheaper for people who qualify for their discount. The PLXc 1-8 is as much as a NX8 1-8 and barely cheaper than an ATACR with discount

[@dustinmclean7899]

Listening to customer suggestions with Chevron changed to dot 🎉 looking forward to seeing it in person!

[@jackbauer4186]

The Chevron is one of the biggest design flaws holding many ppl back from buying PA scopes. They are often not even in consideration due to the Chevron, in what would otherwise be a purchase from them. Dropping it from their scope lineup entirely would be a huge boost to their sales. People just want a dot/crosshair In their aiming point.

[@XLOGIC-LLC]

It’s not a change from a chevron, it has it’s place for fast acquisition and precision, chevrons have been used in combat more then anything, I designed this particular reticle to maintain .1 mils and in order to do that a dot is better suited, for fast illumination a chevron is superior to a 5 moa dot, etched reticles aren’t red dots it’s a different technology needing enough meat to illuminate -Dimitri

[@bjornegan6421]

@@XLOGIC-LLC iron sights have been used more than anything, and just because the russians use chevrons and the chevron is what the acog had doesn't mean it's superior, just like the scopes chosen for sniper scopes with mismatching reticles and turrets. i understand you love chevrons and they have some advantages in some situations, like comparing a 5 moa dot to a chevron, but we dont need to make that comparison at all. it doesn't have to be a 5 moa dot, it can be a .1 or .5 or 1 moa dot (even if it cannot be illuminated at that price point, other parts of the reticle can be and we still have a useable fine center aiming point). it can be a fine crosshair with center dot, it can be a lot of other things that are more useful in more situations than a chevron. i have a scope i'd even prefer a chevron in over what it has, a really thick center crosshair. but instead of replacing that with a chevron, even though a chevron is better, i want it replaced with a fine center dot or very fine center crosshair. the LPVOs picked by SMUs aren't perfect, and just because they are used by them doesn't mean that's a valid point, but they dont use chevrons.

[@TheTyrider427]

Glad to see the plx line expanded! Love the center dot! Would love to see the center dot more floating or isolated for more clear sight picture

[@chardeemacdennis357]

I really like this!! Could we get it with the ACSS Raptor reticle? it's my favorite by miles

Love PA and what you guys have been doing. Got an Slx 1x microprism that has kicked ass on the 11.5 build I did and I now have the PlxC nova on the 12.5” build. I am happy to see the Slx lineup now has a 1-10 nova that’s about the same dimensions as the 1-6 nova model previous to it. Just a great, easy and fast reticle to use. PlxC lineup is my favorite though. Very crisp, with super thin frame around the glass. Super short, super light.

[@dalestark3343]

Yeah, not sure I need 20 power, but something like a 2/2.5-12/15 power would be nice!

[@armorers_wrench]

That's how most people use 2-20's and the beauty of that is when you're dialed up to 15x or 12x or whatever you aren't at max meaning the eye relief and eyebox are way better than they would be on an actual 2-12 or 3-15 or whatever. PLUS you still have the 20x if you really need it.

[@sawyerlawrence5033]

So generally about the top third of a high power magnified optic isn't great, so I could use 15 power on this and be very happy, vs on a 2-15 I wouldn't get as much out of 15 power. That said, I wouldn't use this on more than about 10 power cause I'm looking to shoot out to about 600 max at run n guns.

[@demandprecision5810]

I'm here for the DEKA G2. Simple reticles need to make a comeback. The SWFA Mil-Quad still might be my all time favorite FFP reticle. So functional at all ranges. 1/2 mil is plenty.

Chevron is not very desired for long-range since it covers up a lot of your view at higher magnification. The long-range community has been asking for a center dot for years, and I'm glad to see they finally did it.

[@ItalianShooter01]

@ kinda true, I use mine for hunting mainly. Plus PA reticles are fantastic

[@Chonkasaurus]

​@ItalianShooter01 Yeah the chevron retilce with BDC are good for quick shooting. I use a Nightforce NX8 2.5-20 for long range shooting and having tried their higher magnification scopes with a chevron it was really bad for seeing hits since the chevron was way to much.

[@barnbwt]

That Vortex is a 30mm tube, and as a result, you'll likely have less adjustment travel, and for sure a narrower and more finicky field of view than a larger 34mm tube (with accordingly larger, therefore heavier, lenses). Probably slightly worse distortion with the smaller lenses, too.

I’m still waiting for a sub-10-inch 2-12 scope with locking turrets, first focal plane (FFP), and parallel adjustment. There’s no reason this can’t be accomplished, and I see comments about this on all of your videos. March produces a 1.5-15 scope that measures 10 inches, so why can’t any American companies create a compact 2-12 scope at 8 inches? I haven’t seen anyone asking for a 2-20 in the comments; people are consistently requesting a compact 2-12 scope. I’m sure most of us would’ve preferred a 1.5-15 10inch March alternative over this 2-20.

Looks good, but nightforce already makes a 2.5-20 and. 4-32. You’re gonna have to be able to beat their quality, reliability, and durability in order to make someone choose the plx.

[@PrintAimGame]

Nightforce is going to be double the price of these scopes and significantly heavier. They don't have to beat Nightforce in every category. We all have different needs and preferences.

[@R00KIE_GUY]

​@@PrintAimGame The NX8 1-8 line is only usually 16% more when they're at full price when compared to the PLxC 1-8. I have to imagine it will be the same for this. And NF is much higher quality than most other scopes in general. The 1-8 PLxC beat the NX8 by being shorter, lighter, and arguably having a better reticle. The 2.5-20 NX8 has the same length, is lighter, comes from a more reputable company, and has very similar reticle options as the 2.5-20 PLxC. This new PLxC is likely not gonna be better than the NX8, as most would be willing to save that extra 16%-20% for a much higher build quality.

[@davidfeiler2265]
